When I was 16, I was given a part to do on how masturbation was wrong. To top it off, they assigned my best friend to be my householder. Like, for real...did they not see the laugh-fest coming??? It was always worse when we would practice and start cracking up during certain parts and then you got up on stage and remembered those times

listening to an uncomfortable talk / demonstration.
by man in black ini was thinking this afternoon about a sister who was married to a witness guy who worked pt, they had one 5 yr. old boy.
and a 1 yr. old girl.. one evening at the tms she was giving talk # 3, and halfway through the talk she stopped, looked a little flustered, and said "i can't do this anymore".
she proceeded to get off the stage, and walked out of the hall with her husband looking very red - faced while he was gathering up the kids.. shortly afterwards, she was df'ed and left her husband for another guy.. back then i was just mortified regarding what she said, ( along with most of the congregation) but now i understand her position.. another extreme demonstration was in the late 1980's.

Ok now, this one confused me. Any comments?
John 3:13 (New International Version)
13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. [a]
Well, I'll be darned Chalam....I never looked at it like that. Thanks for the reference. Here, I'll post it again: http://bible.cc/john/3-13.htm
Actually, though, I guess I'm still a little confused. It doesnt say "no one has gone to Heaven BEFORE the Son of Man." It just says NO ONE has gone to heaven except the Son of Man.

Im actually vegetarian, so I substitute tofu for chicken and use vegetable boullion instead of chicken boullion. AND I just discovered that they have grated ginger so you dont have to figure it out for yourself. Just a little goes a LONG way. good luck

ps...this comes straight from your REASONING BOOK, page 70
Blood
Definition:
A truly marvelous fluid that circulates in the vascular system of humans and most multicelled animals, supplying nourishment and oxygen, carrying away waste products, and playing a major role in safeguarding the body against infection. So intimately is blood involved in the life processes that the Bible says “the soul of the flesh is in the blood.” (Lev. 17:11) As the Source of life, Jehovah has provided definite instructions regarding the use to which blood may be put.Christians
are commanded to ‘abstain from blood’Acts 15:28, 29: “The holy spirit and we ourselves [the governing body of the Christian congregation] have favored adding no further burden to you, except these necessary things, to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled [or, killed without draining their blood] and from fornication. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!” (There the eating of blood is equated with idolatry and fornication, things that we should not want to engage in.)
Animal
flesh may be eaten,but not theblood
Gen. 9:3, 4: “Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for you. As in the case of green vegetation, I do give it all to you. Only flesh with its soul—its blood—you must not eat.”
Any animal used for food should be properly bled. One that is strangled or that dies in a trap or that is found after it has died is not suitable for food. (Acts 15:19, 20; compare Leviticus 17:13-16.) Similarly, any food to which whole blood or even some blood fraction has been added should not be eaten.

I have a patient who works for the blood transfusion unit at our local hospital. She told me that there is NO way to get these fractions without getting them from blood. If there were, why don't jw's get them elsewhere?
Also, talk about screwing with the Scriptures. When we bring up how the Bible doesnt actually forbid Birthdays, the Witnesses say: "oh, but the insinuation is there. We shouldn't screw with what the Scriptures say (<----ok, OBviously paraphrased that part). So why is it different with the blood issue?
ps....if you read the whole bible, or even the sections regarding the whole "NO BLOOD" stuff, you'll see that it's not even talking about human blood, and that Jesus believed in breaking the rules if there was a life at stake
